All Want the Park.
WHEELING. Sept. 4, 1887.
To the Editor Of the Rsgi&er.'
Sir-You never advocated a better cause
than the purchase Of old Camp Carlisle to
be converted into q park. 1t will be the
last opportunity for the city to obtain an
eligible site inside her limits, and it will
be to her everlasting disgrace to allow the
opportunity to pass by. At a compare
lively small animal expense the grounds
could be made into a beautiful resort for
our people, and will afford what has now
come to be a real need for Wheeling.
Boom the thing, Messrs. Editors. We all
want the park.

HI Got Away.
Yesterday morning Chief Of Police

express package would probably come to
town during the day, addressed to a man
named F. w. Titus, and to spot the per-

notifying Chief of Police Frank Wood, of
Lowell, Mass, of the fact. About eight

was engaged in inditing the mes

break for liberty, reached the sidewalk in
one leap; and streaked it down Twelfth
street towards the river, with the Chief at
his heels. Another officer was hastily
Summoned to join in the chase, and the
fugitive was trailed as lar as the water

Market street beat, happened to
stick his head into the back
room of the "Italic" saloon, on
Market street, near the Opera House,
where he spied q couple Of sections Of hose
hanging apainst the wall. At once sus-
